Francioni Mastromarino (1978) - I hope 2025

Free Shipping Across Europe "I HOPE" – Black patinated bronze sculpture Limited edition – Only 8 numbered pieces + 4 artist proofs Artists: Francioni & Mastromarino | Studio: Pietrasanta, Tuscany (Italy) "I HOPE" is more than a sculpture: it is a universal message of hope. The female figure, nude and proud, cast in black patinated bronze using the ancient lost-wax technique, stands firmly and gracefully on our planet – Earth, unique and fragile. The face is hidden by a mask: a symbolic gesture to represent all women, timeless and without fixed identity. On the abdomen is inscribed #Ihope, a direct, strong message that invites belief in the power of dreams and regeneration. The work is part of the Matrilineal collection, in which the maternal line, highlighted on the Earth's surface, represents the invisible thread that unites generations, cultures and hopes. The globe is not just a decorative element, but is made with eco-friendly geomalta and recycled rice husk, innovative materials free of Portland cement and petroleum derivatives. Art, in this case, is also an ethical choice: what one believes aligns with what one creates. This sculpture is entirely handmade in the artists’ studio in Pietrasanta – Italian capital of sculpture – with no 3D printing. Each piece is unique, numbered, and finished down to the last detail.
